ASBURY PARK — A hearing officer upheld the demotion of an Asbury Park police captain who left an active crime scene involving a Neptune police sergeant who had shot and killed his former wife in front of their young daughter. Capt. Marshawn Love has acknowledged leaving the scene of former Neptune police Sgt. Philip Seidle’s shooting…

Love’s actions were actually a drop in the bucket of what went wrong on that tragic day which appears to have a number of officers doing nothing besides yelling at Seidle while he twice blasted away at his former wife.
